Comment Re:Tiget Direct == Better Customer Service? (Score 0) 134

Yes, Newegg is the best online electronic retailer store period. There products are very well priced and shipping is outstanding. In fact, my friend and I purchased a 8800gt video card and we got it the next day. Shipping was like less than $10. My mind blew me away when I got the item that quickly. There customer service is just outstanding. RMAs, and product replacement is very easy with them, and they give you no hassle at all. Website is wicked awesome. It is extremely easy to navigate and find what your looking for. Everything is categorized perfectly and stuff. I really shop there more than I do at Bestbuy. I really don't like Bestbuy. I think they should call it Badbuy instead. Circuitcity was way better than Badbuy. Overall, Newegg is the top best online store to shop at.
It's funny.  Laugh.

The Hard Drive Is Inside the Computer 876

davidmwilliams writes "Those of us who work in technology have a jargon all of our very own. We know the difference between CPUs and GPUs, between SSD and HD, let alone HD and SDTV! Yet, our users are flat out calling everything 'the hard drive.' Why is it so?" As much as I hate to admit it, this particular thing drives me nuts. You don't call the auto shop and tell them that your engine is broken when your radio breaks!

Buying a car can cost you in the thousands range. Maintaining the vehicle such as, oil change, spark plugs, filters, etc can be like in the 100's range per year. Add fuel costs too. Then add the costs of having problems with your car. A freaking alternator can cost like $40- $60. A tire in the other hand costs betwee $70-$200 and that is just one freaking tire. Buy 4 tires if they all have worn treads and you are paying $200-400+ bucks These numbers are like if you can fix the car yourself without paying the technicians. If you take your vehicle for repair, then it's going to cost more. Then add what if your car doesn't start on the highway. Your going to face a $200-$300 towing fee plus extra to fix the car. Now taking a Public transportation, you don't need to worry about fuel running out, changing tires, worrying about the alternator going bad, or getting the vehicle robbed. On one hand, you would buy a car and face with all the costs of maintenance and fuel costs? or on the other hand, would you just take a train or bus and sit relax and read Slashdot on your notebook?

Yuck @ ati cards, as their drivers are horrible and unstable. I have been using Nvidia cards for a long time and have not experienced any issues. So, who cares if it beats the 9800gt. It's still an ati card and I would wipe that card on my ass.!

Do I see something wrong in this sentence? "buying a cheap 17-inch HP laptop instead of a $,2800 MacBook Pro, has unleashed the whole 'Are Macs Expensive?' debate again." Look again slashdot editor. $,2800???? It is supposed to be $2,800 you insensitive clod. Wow first time I ever seen this. Im surprised no one noticed it lol.
